Tuesday Things

1. I met Maddy, the founder of Love Grown yesterday and she is so nice and friendly! She gave me a big hug when I walked in the office – I love hugs. Then I got to meet her parents, who were also incredibly nice. Then she donated TONS of granola for BLEND, you should have seen my car. We virtually buried Baby A in the backseat.

2. Meeker tore down our deck this weekend so he could build a better one. He gashed his arm, came inside, asked me to give him stitches (didn’t happen – we used glue), went back outside, and accidentally stepped on a nail that went through his shoe/foot. Then we had a family outing to go get him a tetanus shot. The deck project is now on hold.

3. I have had ice cream for dinner three nights in a row.

4. I have been cooking, though. Since I’m running around like a madwoman all week getting ready for the retreat, I cooked Meeker some meals to subsist on for the week and weekend I’m away. He’s more than capable of taking care of himself and Baby A all by himself, but it makes me feel much less guilty about abandoning my family.

You get the most adorable pictures of Baby A. Love the sandwich – sounds glorious…I may have to figure out how to recreate sans the meat. Good luck with Blend – sounds like it will be an amazing time!!! I am jealous!

i may have to stop reading your blog for the next week because i am SO FRIGGIN JEALOUS that im going to be gone during blend. seriously, i am missing the chance to meet your non-mullet face and baby a and a million other people i want to give massive hugs to in real life. boo. i dont plan on stopping this whining any time soon either (lucky you).

Waaaah! I’m so bummed, too! So, so bummed…I’m emailing you FIRST when we set a date for next year. Maybe I’ll even send you a picture of myself with a “save the date” announcement…just for you, no one else.

Oh! Your story reminds me of when my husband was working in the attic and came in bleeding from a gash in his scalp…I am SO queasy when it comes to blood but luckily I helped him clean it up and he was good to go after that!

Love that you are introducing A to a variety of different foods and flavors! That’s what my parents did when my brother and I were tots and we grew up to be the least picky kids ever. Haha! Have a great week, Katie! 😀
